What is the probability of drawing a white counter?

Asked by flutherother (34523points) January 6th, 2011

A bag contains one counter, known to be either white or black. A white counter is put in, the bag shaken, and a counter drawn out, which proves to be white. What is now the chance of drawing a white counter?

Can anyone solve this problem?
